The Manhattan City Commission has approved a sale and purchase agreement with online retail giant Amazon for a future warehouse to be built in the city’s business park, near the airport.
Amazon is acquiring the roughly 15-acre tract to develop a 70,000-square-foot warehouse for “last mile” delivery services. Daryn Soldan, director of economic development at the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, helped secure the agreement.
“It’s great to get a project out there,” he said. “I think we’ve got some other things in the works, and obviously there’s a few more parcels out there that are developable. We’re actively marketing those as part of our economic development efforts.”
